Overview:

The ultimate goal of the British offensive was the mountain fortress of Keren. One of the Italian outposts on the road to Keren was Agordat, which lay in the center of a level plain and was overlooked from the south by series of dominating ridges. From them the Italians could bring fire down on any force attacking Agordat from the west. The British commander, General Beresford-Peirse, recognized the importance of controlling these heights and so on January 29 her ordered two regiments of the 11 Indian Brigade, the 14th Punjabis and the 6th Rajputana Rifles, to assault the prominence called Mt. Cochen.
Attacker: British (1st Battalion, Rajputana Rifles)
Defender: Italian (2nd Colonial Battalion)

2026-08-29(D) Jobbo Fett vs JobboFett Italian winIf the Italians are lucky enough to roll for AP mines, I think this scenario simply becomes an exercise in frustration for the British. Set everyone up in the back, out of sight and out of mind for the British, then wait for them to Stray, or be careless, or otherwise cause themselves their own harm. Meanwhile, you'll have a significant advantage with height, Mines, and other shenanigans to put down the attacker's attempts at getting offboard. At least it can serve as a way to teach Night rules and movement therein?
